I quite comprehend what you say. Doubling has become quite difficult these days, but I have faith in thinking there might be some people out there who can still handle it well.
Um, so, I don't think I'd do quite well in whatever is specifically labeled as "cyberpunk" or "high-tech sci-fi", because it rather intimidates me. If I was to choose, I'd say we can try out for option 3, since I can say I have the same problem whenever I try to roleplay in that sort of field, my partner usually pulls it off the edge onto multilateral quirks, when it's quite simply two individuals trying to survive in an environment that only makes things worse. I say I'd love to try this one out just to see if it turns out effectively.
(And yes, I can absolutely relate to that when you mention being bugged by how some roleplayers make the story revolve around their character, and make them always have something that requires constant attention and soothing.)
I'll be waiting for your reply.
PD.: I apologize for the unicorn.
